Motorcyclist dies in Shrewsbury
A motorcyclist has died after coming off his bike just outside Shrewsbury last night.
The motorcyclist, believed to be a man in his forties was riding a red Honda NSR 125 on the B4380 between Emstrey roundabout and the village of Atcham last night when it appears he lost control and crashed.
A passerby found the man and gave CPR, but their efforts were sadly in vain.
He suffered multiple injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
A West Mercia Police spokesperson said today: "The collision happened just after 11pm near Atcham. At this stage of the inquiry, no other vehicle appears to have been involved.
"We are appealing for witnesses who saw the crash or the circumstances leading up to it. They should contact Shrewsbury police station by calling 101 as a matter of urgency."
The road was closed while the emergency services worked at the scene.
The Shropshire coroner's office has been informed.
